DX1R Series 10.5T Drift Motor for YD-2 Compatibility - RPM-DX105RP by Yokomo  [RPM-DX105RP]

Inside the DX1R 10.5T drift motor

The Yokomo RPM-DX105RP is a 10.5T brushless motor from the DX1R line designed for RC-scale drift applications. Its distinguishing feature in this release is a color anodized finish applied to the motor case and back plate, offered in red and purple variants to visually match YD-2 style chassis. The motor remains an RC component and is intended for scale drift cars rather than full-size vehicles.

Mechanically the unit keeps the familiar Type-R case design while adopting updated stator and coil elements aimed at delivering smoother rotation and higher peak rotational speed. The product notes a rotor diameter of D12.0xd7.25, and the 10.5T winding targets high-revving behaviour suitable for high-traction surfaces such as asphalt and carpet.

For tuners and builders the RPM-DX105RP serves as a predictable, smooth-accelerating option that helps maintain neutral steering under moderate throttle, which can reduce understeer tendencies on paved or carpeted tracks. Color-matched anodizing is a cosmetic choice that also provides corrosion resistance to the external casing surface.

Fitters should confirm motor mount and clearance on their chassis and use an appropriately programmed ESC for a 10.5T sensorless motor to maintain the smooth throttle curve and high-rpm behavior expected from the RPM-DX105RP.
